Jubilee

20 years after his death, Opening Nights pay a small tribute to this major director by screening one of his landmark films and of the most authentic expressions of punk in the history of cinema.

1977 was the year when Queen Elisabeth I would celebrate her 25-year reign, which happened to coincide with the rise of the punk movement that was about to take the country by storm.

At 35, Derek Jarman was already a multi-faceted artist, prone to experimentation, vocal about his sexual identity and determined to make a documentary about what he considered by the purest expression of his generation.

Instead, he turned his film into a display of mockery against his country's rigid traditionalism and a reaction against the dead end he predicted a sociopolitical movement as radical and devastating as punk would inevitably reach.
